This story is factual. Factual in the sense that it did really happen, but inside a computer where things really don't happen are instead simulated and processed.

The first thing I decided to do was go to the Veermok Cave. Go figure. So I took a shuttle to Deeja Peak, which is the closest city to the Cave. When I got there, I got out my Tusk Cat baby named Mary. Once she was grouped, I head toward the cave. The cave is directly over a massive mountaintop, and then right down the otherside. It's a very easy trek (at least for me, being an Explorer the hills didn't bother me at all) and a short one at that. As I came down the other side I saw a round rock formation at the bottom of the hill. All of the sudden, my radar lit up with yellows, and a few reds, with my dot right in the middle. I was surrounded. Thank, you SOE for that delay in NPC spawning. :-\

I started tabbing through the enemies, and then I noticed something curious... I couldn't see them. That's when I realized that they were underground. Phew. I came around the side of the cave and saw a Veermok Guard at the mouth of the cave. I sent Mary in to distract him, and removed him with two Head Shot 2's from my DLT20a. I started inside the cave.

I walked downward, and came across a Veermok guard. It was non aggressive, nontheless, I masked my scnet and walked, not run, down the slope, and rounded the corner. I walked into a very large underground chamber. At this point on, there was occasional industrial equipment. None of it was selectable. The chamber was laid out in a U-shaped pattern. The middle was a pit that did have a bottom but that you couldn't walk down. I walked down one side of the U, and as I rounded the croner, not only did I see a veermok about 5 meters in front of me that I had somehow missed, I also didn't notice that Mary got caught on the corner behind me.

I walked past the Veermok and moved forward. At the other end of the U, there were two more Veermok. The Veermok and Veermok Guards were all non-aggressive. But at that end of the U, which turned right and went downward. At the bottom of the incline lay two Veermok Scouts. They had 1500 in each HAM, and, worse than that, they were aggressive. I masked my scent, and hugged the wall, always walking, not running. I passed within 12 meters of them, and I got through. Looking back, this is the view:

There was a corridor with a very high vaulted ceiling, and a little outcropping to the side. At the end of the corridor, there was a hole. That hole had a platform. From the platform there was a bridge. It came towards me, but the bridge seemed to break, and instead of reaching to my part of the floor, bent and hit the bottom of the hole. I couldn't move down that cliff. On the platform were many boxes, but I couldn't select them. How to get to the plaform, I don't know. Maybe force pull the bridge up to you? It was about this time I realized that Mary was not right behind me...

Around this hole is a spiral tunnel that leads to a platform overlooking the previous corridor and hole. A Veemok Guard stands at the top, as seen

There were some unimpressive warrens right past this Guard, guarded by two aggressive Scouts. And then, when I backtracked to the U-shaped cavern, I noticed another corridor I had missed before. I collected Mary, and trekked down it. It was a fast, short walk, with two Scouts at the end, guarding another MagSeal Container.

MagSeal container! What's this! Why didn't I mention this before?! Scattered about in the cave were several MagSeal containers. I tried to open them, but I lack even Novice Smuggler skills. I hope to get a Master Smuggler to accompany me next time. You can see an example of one below:
